I adore Tiffany McDaniel’s writing. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking and intense.

This book was not an easy book to read but had me totally shocked at the end. It lost half a star due to pacing in the middle. It dragged a wee bit but not too badly that it distracted much from the story. 

McDaniel is an auto-read author for me!
